Can anyone recommend a hot-swappable NAS enclosure for SCSI drives with USB or ethernet connectivity?

They are not making new devices that support SCSI, but there are some used. How many drives are we talking about here? This will work if you just have around 4 drives: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rackable-Systems-2U-NM46X-SCSI-NAS-Storage-Server-2x-AMD-2GHz-16GB-8-x-2GB-RAM-/270967022381?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f16e4a32d Whereas this is better if you have multiple drives, it takes the SCSI RAID racks and converts them to Fibre Channel: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crossroads-Crosspoint-4200-Storage-SAN-FIBRE-SCSI-/330720549850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d007b1bda and connect something like this to it for the drives: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Compaq-70-40019-01-150728-001-StorageWorks-with-8x-300GB-and-4x-146GB-SCSI-HDD-/230782563137?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35bbb67341 Upvote 0 Downvote
